Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 606, the sailors' thoughts...

A few days back from the island remodel. The correspondent was contacted as he performed routines such as executive duties and inspections, building airships, making magic props, and daily exercises to prepare him for exploring the demonic realm.

Guests from the kingdoms of Grantios, Hitacanokuni and Howe head to Termwilds. We're all picking him up from the workshop to the transfer port because this is the street we were meeting in advance.

When we arrived at the transfer port, a pillar of light rose from the transfer gate - from which the face we saw appeared.

From Grantios are Queen Eldraine and her escorts Weltes and Eckels. From Hitaca, Yura and Akane, Ichiemon. Princess Lin and Genlai's disciples are from Hou Country.

"Oh, Theodore!

"Hello, everyone"

"Hello!"

"Hello, you look well and most importantly"

Queen Eldraine greets me brightly, and Princess Yura and Princess Lynn smile brightly. Returning the greeting from me, the face of the escort who came with me also gave me a gracious expression.

Princess Yura and Princess Lynn joyfully joined hands with Ashley and Mallane...... they all look happy. Because we are near the age, or we are close.

Those who move further a little late from the faces of such acquaintances.

They are sailors involved in the development of routes with the East.

Is it... the tortoise beast man from the kingdom of Grantios that caught my eye? He has a wand, and he has a lot of magic, so I guess he's a magician. A magician fit for the sea. Let's just say he's a really comfortable person when sailing long distances.

"Lord Forestanian Boundary and his wives, His Highness Albert and the craftsmen of the Brightwell Workshop."

"Nice to meet you. Thank you very much."

The first metastasis... seems somewhat confusing. I was looking at Theorem and I was circling my eyes... but when I was introduced to us, I would say hello and introduce myself nervously.

"Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you. I come from the Kingdom of Groufonica. My name is Dolores. Please, thank you very much."

"Nice to meet you. We are a fish people living in the depths of the western ocean."

We were just saying hello, and Dolores and the deep fishermen were introducing themselves to the sailors.

The Deep Fishmen are also coming to Termwilds first as sailors.

"Reinforcements are not only from the Kingdom of Grantios, but also from the fishermen of the west. It's comforting to have so many people in the sea!

And the sailors seem happy. It seems that the impression comes first of all that species such as marine beasts, fishermen, and mermaids are comfortable on their side from sailors. I guess it's the same around there in the face of the East.

The East is also involved in the development of the route. We must also work closely with Hitaca and the Hou countries. Regardless of the procurement of shelter materials, we can dispatch trustworthy personnel early, so we need you to come here one step ahead and get used to western manoeuvring techniques and sailors from other countries.

In order to make east-west navigation more common in the future, it is necessary to reduce the reliance on the magic technology that has protruded in shipbuilding. Whether you want to take advantage of the magic props in the workshop or not, you can build a ship that I can sail with no direct involvement.

Even if there was a process that I would be involved in... it would also be better if I ritualized it and established the procedure, even with no touches from now on. Well, do we need to think about it so that it doesn't cost too much?

That's why we head to the shipyard to introduce the faces that came as sailors from the deep fishmongers and guide them around the city.

"Oh. this is the Sirius......!

"The direction of technology is very different from that of a normal ship, but I hope it's stimulating"

"That's already...!

And the sailors were also touched faces.

"I still feel that the Sirius, who dived through the fierce battle with Lord Theodore, is special."

Sailors nodding yeah to Eckels' words. Alpha accompanying those words laughs.

It will also demonstrate lifejackets and boat magic props that will be equipped for offshore navigation vessels.

When the demonic prop planted on the buckle of the belt touches the sea water, the water solidifies and takes in a layer of air and becomes a lifejacket. With the mechanism of being able to simultaneously perform the magic of underwater breathing in order to be able to cope even in rough seas… this and the lifeboat were quite well received and applauded.

Take the tense sailors to tour Termwilds and Forestania, and welcome them at the royal castle, theater and hot springs to create time for interaction.

When I talk to the sailors in that way, I get the impression that there are a lot of faces that are quite favorable to deepening East-West interaction just because of the selected talent.

"Lord Theodore has defeated Showen with His Majesty Shunkai to restore peace. I've always wanted to say thank you for that."

"Neither do we. Ayatsuji brothers and sisters have had a terrible time with their best friends... I wanted to thank Lord Theodore for meeting me."

"Me too… I was able to come home to the familiar home of the Sea Capital without missing anyone in my family"

I listened while soaking up the hot tub in the hot spring and the sailors from Hou Country and Hitacanokuni and Grantios used to say they were squeamish that way.

There seem to be a lot of faces that owe me personal favors. Because it is an election from those who have volunteered, I feel satisfied that there will be many such faces. Well, let's also try to be careful not to exercise political influence in a detour, bearing in mind that there is such a preference.

That's how we welcome the sailors… As the shipbuilding begins, the workshop also prepares to explore the demonic realm in parallel.

"- Even defensive spells could prevent transformation due to the special environment of the demonic world. At the time, the concubine was on the line as an investigative team, or he was able to defend his stronghold in a surgical manner... but the Brightwell Workshop could also make personal magic props."

The flow is that Parteniara teaches the technique and Albert turns what Elena wrote on the paper into a magic prop.

"The question is, what is happening today in places that cross the gates of the demonic world?"

"Under Xanaelk's rule, we wouldn't have been able to open the gate and see how it went."

"Hmm. Even a concubine can't tell you what's going on right now."

To Grace and my words, Parteniara closes her eyes and arms and moans when she says so.

While Xanaelk was on the throne, it can be taken for granted because Elena at heart went missing and the gate didn't open.

Even if the gate could be opened, it couldn't be explored right away.

Therefore... while making this prediction, it is necessary to first secure a base of activities around the gate and improve the environment.

They don't mean to make a transformation anywhere in the demonic world, but now that we don't know the situation ahead of us out of the gate, we need to assume the worst case scenario. So whatever you put down, be prepared to prevent transformation, is the first step.

Next, safety will be ensured during exploration. The development of magic artifacts that show where each and every person is going to explore. This can be solved by sending and receiving beacons, the same as demonic props for route development.

There is also Claudia's metastatic magic if you consider it dangerous and retreat, but that metastatic magic will not work either, directly beyond the gate back to Termwilds.

Metastatic magic is an insurance policy that contemplates withdrawal in the event of an event. Withdrawal from inside the demon world to base can be done, but for this, technology based on the summoning capabilities of Alcs and Viams' Slave Units can also be used as an alternative. Once the base has been constructed and secured, we will install a magic device there that can open a subpoena gate against the expedition team. You can safely return to the base by activating it if you feel a danger while exploring.

"Mm-hmm. Then don't worry if it comes off."

And Sheila nods. Right. That's how we tested the material of concern one by one and worked out countermeasures.
